The name “Virtuosity” means that we take skill development very seriously. We are not satisfied with merely being good at something. No, we dare to go that extra mile and be great: be virtuosos of movement. That is why the skill of the month is the clapping handstand push up. Above and beyond a mere handstand or a handstand pushup, the CHSPU is a skill that displays amazing strength, balance, coordination and power. We endeavor this month to take ourselves to the next level of mastery. Please join us for the fun filled adventure that awaits. We expect to have everyone upside down by the end of the month with a roar of thunderous applause!
Still not convinced? Here is a great tutorial on the Clapping Handstand Push Up. Please read it carefully.
Check out this great video of a Clapping Handstand Push Up.
At 2 minutes into the video below, you’ll see Dominic Lacasse perform some variations of plyometric handstand pushups that we will also use on our journey to mastery over this fun skill.
This will be great practice for next month’s skill, the planche pushup.
